They are also cut into the natural soil down to a depth of about 1 m or even less. The size of the chambers also varies: the recorded size of one of them is 6·40×7·00 m. Some of them have depressions on all the four sides, deep post-holes on the four corners for superstructure and storage pits. Except one or two chambers stone or clay hearths containing mainly ash and burnt clay have found generally in the centre, indicative of human occupation. The pit chambers abound in the central portion of the mound and the circular/oval pits are mostly on the periphery. - [Previous: v2.c29.1154](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1154) - [Next: v2.c29.1156](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1156) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1155](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.1155) · Pramāṇa
